Contributes a malty complexity to beer flavor and aroma. Excellent in American Pale Ales and American versions of British beer styles.

Brewed this tasty treat this past weekend. It smells fantastic! Probably transferring it to secondary in a few days and dry hopping it.

Poured in a Founder's snifter. This beer had an OG of 1.071 and finished at 1.010. This beer has a great citrus floral hop aroma. A thick white head that stays for a while with nice lacing. The flavors of grapefruit and citrus are subtle, not too bitter, a little dry. The alcohol is hiding in the background and can sneak up on you. It seems to fit into the BJCP style guide lines 14C. I am entering this into the 20th Annual Peach State Brew Off.
